Mom graduated

Hospital School of Nursing. She enjoyed her career as a nurse and
worked in hospitals in Halifax, London, Ontario, New Glasgow, Montreal
and lastly at the former Nova Scotia Youth Training Centre in
Brookside. Mom was also known to volunteer as camp nurse over the
summer months at Camp Geddie in Merigomish whenever needed. She was
well trained and applied her discipline to many aspects of her life
and could often be seen and heard offering thoughtful ideas on how to
improve upon things.
Grace loved
her family, especially her grandchildren. She was delighted whenever
they called or came to visit and was proud of their many
accomplishments. She loved to hear about everyone’s
adventures of the week. She was
a proud member
of St.
James Presbyterian
Church in Truro.
We would like
to acknowledge the wonderful care and compassion Mom received
from the nurses and personal support workers at
Parkland Fergus
Hall, Cedarstone
and from the teams at

Centre.
